Lyrics

The music's still ringing
A memory in my ears
Chairs on the tables
Glasses half-clear
I stepped out easy
Didn't say why
Just needed some air
And a little less light
Snow's coming down easy
Like it's got all night
Covering the edges
Softening what shines
I don't miss the rooms
Once I'm out of the sound
Just the sound of my steps
On the quiet side of town
The quiet tells the truth
When the noise lets go
When the lights withdraw
And I can breathe again
I see it clearly now
Walking alone
What was here before us
Still knows its way home
A doorway still glowing
Somewhere down the block
Snow settles in
On the words I don't talk
I take what suits me
Leave the rest where it fell
Some nights are enough
Just to know them well
The quiet tells the truth
When the noise lets go
When the lights withdraw
And I can breathe again
I see it clearly now
Walking alone
What was here before us
Still knows its way home
